“Never Donate to a Shady Nonprofit Again”

Dec20
2012
Brian Minter Written by Brian Minter

The Social Impact 100 index will make sure you never donate to a shady nonprofit again. By setting a rigorous set of criteria, the index makes sure that it only includes organizations that are using your money to make a real, tangible difference.

– Ariel Schwartz, Fast Company’s Co.Exist blog

First Book named to S&I 100 index

At First Book, we don’t just provide new books to kids in need. We work hard to make sure that we’re elevating the quality of education by getting the right books and other educational resources to the schools and programs that need them the most.

We’re also aggressively planning for the future, ensuring that we’re able to grow in smart and self-sustaining ways and bring more books to more kids.

Which is why we’re delighted to be named one of the nation’s top-performing nonprofits by Social Impact Exchange. They’ve included us on their new S&I 100 index, an exclusive list of U.S. nonprofits that have been rigorously screened by experts for proof that a) their programs are having a significant impact and b) they have the ability to expand to serve more people in need.

Click here to donateWe know people have a lot of options when they decide which nonprofits to support with their time and money. We see the impact our work is having every day, and we’re excited to have that recognized by the experts.

Donate to First Book today, and join us in turning every child into a success story.
